Girls JV Basketball

Jaguarettes dispose of Knights easily, 39-4

     The Cooperative girls junior varsity basketball team jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back as it went on to defeat Cambridge 39-4 in the Cooperative gym Tuesday.

      The Jaguarettes didn’t allow Cambridge to score until the third period, and led the game 26-0 at the half. It has to be said in the Knights behalf it has to be said that they continued to play hard even after their cause had become hopeless, but they were never a match for the more experienced Cooperative team.
   
      Giuliana Varalta was the high scorer for the victorious Jaguars with 17 points. Naira Rodriguez had eight and Isabella Peña six.  Alexandra Cadario, Andrea Chavez, Analee Davis, and Maria Fernanda Soria each had two points.

      All of Cambridge’s four points were scored by Renata Pinto.

Eagle JV girls defeat Griffins, 20-4

     The Christian Learning girls junior varsity basketball team, once again playing intense defense, defeated International without much of a problem, 20 to 4, in the Griffins gym Tuesday afternoon. 


      Coupling this win together with the Eagles 58-2 victory over Cambridge last week means that the Christian Learning opponents are now averaging a grand total of 3.00 points per game. It sets up a climactic match for next Tuesday when the two undefeated squads -- Christian Learning and Cooperative -- clash at the Jaguar gym. 


      Eager analysts of comparative scores will not find much in the way of definitive evidence. Both teams have handily outclassed their two common opponents -- Cambridge and International -- who will also play next week. 


      The Eagles got off to an 8-1 lead in the first quarter, including two baskets by Rebecah Escudero, and basically coasted home from there. 


     The Eagles didn't score in the second period, in which International got a basket by Camila Barrientos, to slash the Christian Learning lead to 8-3.


       Then, in the second half, the Eagles turned the engines back on, scored six points in each period while giving up only a single foul shot to Maria Zelada, so that the final score came in an 20-4.


       Escudero was the high scorer for the Eagles, tallying eight points. Maria Anderson had six, and Emily Ordoñez two.

       Camila Barrientos had two poiints for Internationa; Zelada and Pamela Hernandez had one point each.
